you had a stroke? im sorry about that

didnt realise bootcamp was more a dual boot thing than a VM (never used macs really..) is it possible to get WINE for macs, that would be useful..?

Sounds like a wonderful idea, so when the addition of Intel-based Macs came out, developers created the Wine-wrapper program Darwine.

Unless I missed something huge, it's not very good at all - originally I had this problem, and I thought the lack of truetype fonts was what prevented me from running my applications. However, I did manage to find a hack that fixed this issue, and even then I couldn't run most applications - about the best I could do was run Notepad and Minesweeper; couldn't even get Firefox running.

Too bad, because it seemed like such a nice idea...

oh thats a shame

wine on linux is better, i can run office 2000, firefox, acrobat etc all fine

Thanks Jb - I consider myself lucky cuz i'm rrecovering well ... I also use wine on an old P3 Notebook at work .. with Edubuntu (A Version of ubuntu for Teachers and the Education Commuity)

ive tried edubuntu but found it more suitable to younger children as opposed to teens

Jb .. youre so right .. I have the prek to grade 4 from 2-5pm. I put the prek - 1st on the edubuntu and the rest on the apples and pcs. I got the all kiddie fortified : rubber keyboard overlays, plexiglass display protectors and custom made disk and port protectors. I usually start with a hike and activity and then they get to do something on the computers ... you know I wear them out first so they don't wear out the computers.

My staff is fighting over the new computer ... intel iMac w/ parallel and XP ... We won't get another one till about may .. i'll try the boot camp on that..

Hey Joe and Jb has anyone here tried to run Vista with bootcamp on an intel mac? I'm curious to see if and how it works on the macs?

Well, I know for a fact that Vista does run on Intel Macs... I saw it run on one before Boot Camp was released using a hack similar to the one WindowsOnMac.net used to install XP on Intel Macs.

*googles it*

It didn't quite before August (which is sort of what I thought), but since then the Vista builds have been Boot Camp-friendly.

Thanks Joe ... as aloways for the great info .. We'll try it in March or may when the new computers come in ... I'm crossing my fingers cuz I budgeted for a few ... so I should get at least 1 and I requested for march so i should at least get it in may... You see "old dogs can learn new tricks"

Hey Joe ...is that a picture of your dog ...I have a chocolate lab

Yep, it's a Goldendoodle puppy.
He looks blue to me.
